Infinity is a subsidiary of Kemper Auto, one of the nation’s largest specialized auto insurers. It specializes in non-standard policies for high-risk drivers who may have trouble getting insured due to DUIs, SR-22s, insurance lapses, and more.

If you’re interested in Infinity, consider whether you fit the high-risk driving profile of its typical customer, and verify that it operates in your state. Infinity’s rates are often higher than the national average, like those of other high-risk auto insurance providers, and its policies are available in only ten states, notably California.

I’m a senior editor and analyst at AutoInsurance.com. Although I’m a State Farm customer (check out my full State Farm review), I’ll walk you through the main features of Infinity auto insurance based on our aggregated data and industry research.

In addition to Infinity, we’ve reviewed dozens of auto insurance providers, including the best insurance for high-risk drivers.

Quick Look: Infinity Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Caters to high-risk drivers with prior violations

  • Competitive rates compared to those of other nonstandard insurers

  • Has Spanish-language support and website

  • Strong financial security ratings backed by parent company Kemper

Cons

  • Only available in ten states

  • Rates are pricier on average compared to standard insurers’ rates

  • Lack of add-on coverage options

Who Is Infinity Auto Insurance Best For?

Infinity is ideal for high-risk drivers who find it challenging to obtain coverage from other insurers.

Infinity Is Best for Those Who:

  • Are high-risk drivers with violations, DUIs, tickets, or low credit
  • Need non-standard insurance due to issues getting insured
  • Live in AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, OR, PA, or TX
  • Are looking for customer support in Spanish

Infinity Is Not Best for Those Who:

  • Have a clean driving record and can get better rates elsewhere
  • Need many add-on coverages
  • Live outside the ten states that Infinity services

How Much Does Infinity Car Insurance Cost?

The average cost of Infinity car insurance is $2,511 per year for full coverage. This is $155 higher than the national average of $2,356 per year. For minimum coverage, Infinity’s average cost is $826, or $104 more than the national average.

Since Infinity serves high-risk drivers — for example, those with an SR-22 — it’s reasonable that its rates will be higher than average. The rates you’re quoted may differ, but they will be higher if you’re a high-risk driver yourself. It’s also possible to get a competitive rate with Infinity if you’re a driver with a good record, though this isn’t guaranteed.

FYI:

An SR-22 certificate proves that a driver carries the state minimum required insurance limits. Infinity will file an SR-22 form on behalf of its customers for a fee.

You can see how Infinity’s average premium compares to other insurers in the table below. Most insurers listed are standard insurers, but The General and Good2Go are nonstandard insurers you can use as a point of comparison.

How You Can Save on Your Policy With Infinity

Infinity offers basic discounts, but you won’t find as many as with other companies. That said, there are still ways to save.

Highlighted Discount: Mature Driver Improvement Course Discount

Infinity offers a discount to mature drivers for taking an approved defensive driving course. This incentivizes drivers to refresh basic driving skills and learn about new traffic laws or vehicle technologies.

The age requirement is not specified on Infinity’s website, so you’ll need to contact your agent to learn about eligibility. With other insurers, I’ve typically seen this discount offered to drivers aged 50 or 55 and older. To find approved courses, contact your local DMV, the AARP, or your agent.

Other Discounts

Infinity also offers the following discounts:

  • Multi-car: Insure more than one car with Infinity under the same policy, and you’ll receive a discount.
  • Good student: If you have a teen or young adult on your policy, and they’re a full-time student with a B average (3.0 GPA) or higher, you may qualify for a discount.
  • Telematics: Through the Kemper Co-Pilot program, you can earn discounts up to 15 percent off.

 

TIP:

When shopping for a new insurance policy, try getting quotes from at least three different providers to find the lowest prices.

Infinity Quote and Purchase Process

You can get a quote with Infinity online or by calling 1-855-478-3705. If you’re getting a quote online, you’ll be directed to enter your zip code first:

Infinity Auto Insurance home page, featuring a man driving a car and the title text Affordable Car Insurance Quotes.

Next, you’ll be directed to answer a series of questions about yourself in a dynamic form on the same page. For instance, you’ll have to enter your current insurance status:

Infinity quote form, asking "Are you currently insured?" with Yes and No options.

And your name and address:

Infinity quote form, asking for First name, Middle initial, Last name, and suffix.

When completing the form, be sure to have this information on hand about drivers you want to add to your policy (including yourself):

  • Full names
  • Birthdates
  • Driver license numbers
  • Vehicle details — including the year, make, and model or the VIN number
  • Information about your prior insurer

Once you’re done filling the form, you’ll get a quote based on the information you’ve entered.

What Types of Auto Insurance Coverage Does Infinity Offer?

Infinity provides the standard types of coverage: liability, collision and comprehensive, personal injury protection, and uninsured/underinsured motorist. However, it has fewer add-on coverages than other insurers.

Infinity has rental reimbursement as an add-on, which pays for a rental car up to the daily limit if your car is in the shop and unusable due to a covered claim. It also offers roadside assistance, which provides emergency services or towing if an accident happens.

Not everything Infinity offers is necessarily detailed on its website, which doesn’t have much coverage information outside of basic descriptions. It’s possible Infinity may offer gap insurance, special equipment, and other coverage options, but we recommend calling an agent to confirm what’s available based on your location and policy.

You can customize coverages and coverage amounts as long as you meet the minimum limits in your state.

TIP:

Even though liability-only policies are available, I recommend opting for full coverage, especially if you have a history of accidents, so you can be more financially protected in case of damage to your vehicle.

Infinity: Customer Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction is a weak point for Infinity — it has a score of 5.13 from the NAIC Customer Complaint Index, which rates how frequently customers file complaints about insurance companies. This score signifies that Infinity receives about five times as many complaints as is expected for similar companies.

As of 2026, it has an A- rating from AM Best, meaning it is financially stable and can be counted on to pay out claims. However, it’s worth noting that it was downgraded from a score of A in 2022, and many competitors have higher ratings.

Kemper, Infinity’s parent company, also has mixed scores. In California, where Infinity does much of its business, Kemper scored last in J.D. Power’s Auto Insurance Study, which measures customer satisfaction by region. In CRASH Network’s Insurer Report Card—which surveys repair shops on insurers’ claims practices—Kemper received a C-. That said, its score was higher than insurers like Progressive and GEICO, and none of the top ten biggest providers scored higher than C+.

CategoryInfinity/Kemper score
NAIC Customer Complaint Index15.13 — more complaints than average
AM Best Financial Strength Rating2A- (Excellent)
J.D. Power 2025 Auto Insurance Study – California3523 of 1,000 — last place (Kemper)
CRASH Network 2026 Insurer Report Card4C- — 72 out of 91 providers (Kemper)

Filing a Claim With Infinity

Infinity auto claims are processed through its parent company Kemper’s system. To file a claim:

Here’s what it looked like when I clicked into the online claims process:

Web page displaying the Kemper logo and header text Kemper Policy Information. Below the header, text reads: To get started, please select one of the options below to identify the Kemper Insurance policy. Below, four tile cards: Kemper Policy Number, Phone Number, Driver's License, and Vehicle Identification Number.

In general, I think calling to file a claim is wise because a representative can answer questions and guide you through the process.

Claim processing times depend on the complexity of the claim. They may be resolved as quickly as a few days or may take several months. If you have any questions or concerns about a pending claim, be sure to contact an agent.

Infinity's Website and Mobile App

Generally, Infinity’s website appears pretty bare-bones, and doesn’t seem well-suited for online policy management or claim filings. It’s probably best to contact an agent for personalized help and inquiries, as not all services or important information are necessarily available on its site.

Customers can also use parent company Kemper’s main app to manage their policies, including making payments, viewing claims, contacting customer service, accessing ID cards, and more. However, the app doesn’t seem to be widely used (as of this writing, there are only 29 reviews on the Apple App Store, and 63 on the Google Play Store).

Nor are the apps highly rated, likely skewed due to the low number of reviews. On the Apple App Store, Kemper’s app has 2.5 out of 5 stars, while on Google Play it has 3.6 out of 5 stars.

Conclusion

Infinity is a decent option for high-risk drivers living in California, or one of the ten other states in which it sells policies. The company is backed by Kemper, and specializes in insuring drivers who may have trouble obtaining affordable coverage elsewhere. For drivers with clean records, it’s likely not the best fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much Infinity car insurance decreases when you turn 25 depends on your driving record, coverage choices, vehicle type, location and how much you drive. In general, you can expect your insurance rates to go down by around 5 to 10 percent when you turn 25.

Infinity’s average rates are only slightly higher than the national average for both full and minimum coverage policies. However, your actual premium may vary depending on your driving record and location. As a non-standard insurance provider, Infinity’s rates may be higher since its customers are considered high-risk drivers and are more likely to file claims.

To add a car to your Infinity insurance policy, call the company at 1-855-478-3705 to speak to an agent. You’ll be directed to a representative who can help you add the vehicle.

A claim for a wrecked car can take anywhere from two to six weeks, with an average of four weeks before you’ll receive a settlement check.
